Customer Reviews

Thank you Barry

I read this book several years ago when it first came out, and I loved it. I still like to go back to it every now and then, pluck one of the stories and savor it like a fresh grape.

BEASTIE BOYS!

You cant see it in that little picture but thats a quote from Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys that looks like it's coming out of the jet on the cover. Id say pretty much everything Ad Rock likes I like, and so I read this, and this is no exception. Theres some funny, trippy stuff in here. I say definitely read this book.

I LOVE THIS BOOK

This is one of my favorite books of all time, one of the funniest books I have ever read. Barry Yourgrau is a genius. I read this book a long time ago and have always had a hard time finding copies. I give good books to my friends all the time, and I'm thrilled that this is being reissued and now I'll be to find copies for myself and other people. Definitely read this book. Everyone I have given it to loves it. And I just read his new book, The Haunted Traveler. It's great, read them both, but read this one first.
